Swype has working copy and paste.

Opera Mobile also has working copy and paste.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LockheedX:
My wife's Dinc2 all of a sudden went from going two days on a charge to barely getting 6 hours.

Anyone recommend any programs to monitor battery usage more intensely? She is not rooted. The battery stats for some reason say that the Calendar is being used more than anything else... which is strange. She claims she doesn't use the calendar, so I am wondering what app is using the Calendar.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
Check accounts and sync.. it might be the Google calendar syncing nonstop. My wife had a similiar issue.. I honestly would verify all your sync's
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LockheedX:
The weird thing is... I have sync turned off completely.

She got a promotional deal to get $20 a month data plan for only 300mb, so I turn off mobile data and she only uses data at home. So I have sync completely off.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Check the battery use under about phone
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LockheedX:
Yeah, I have been doing that... is there any other program which logs what apps use what services or other apps?

Again the calendar seems to take up the most battery life under Battery Use in About phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
I would recommend you do a full wipe. That is the only way to make sure it is the battery and not the phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
I would agree.. a factory reset might be just the thing. There is also a master reset on addition's website... They make you do it before you file a claim most of the time

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] WhistlingDog:
Another idea... your WiFi settings?

When you say she only uses data at home, do you mean via WiFi? If so, there's another possibility.

In Wifi Settings screen, tap menu|advanced and turn OFF "Best WiFi performance." I had inadvertently turned this on and found my phone sucking battery juice so fast you could almost hear it. Now that I turned the "best" off, I get a couple of days of battery. Unless you're streaming movies or doing something similar, the regular wifi performance works just fine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I will put in another vote for full wipe/factory reset unless you're rooted. then I would suggest trying wipe battery stats first.

If it persists, batteries are cheap on amazon/ebay. No biggie.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LockheedX:
"Best Wifi Performance" is off, so no luck there.

I started backing up her settings (sms, launcher settings etc) and I'm going to try a factory wipe soon on it.

Considering rooting it and installing a custom ROM, whats the vote for the most stable/basic with great battery life?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
If you want more stock style, andyboneSTOCK. Or nitsuj gingerbangsense. I put Andy on my wife's phone, debloated and used nitsuj 3.0 patch and it works great. Nitsuj's rom with his patch works perfect too. Got the #21 kernel UV -50mv. I'm also hearing a lot of good from sabotage, but I have little experience with it. I'm currently using miui with aeroevan .07 kernel and my battery is insane but, miui is aosp. If you want a really pretty/stable rom you can go with either mikrunny or newts Inc 2 HD rom. Very nice 3.5 roms
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
Check & if necessary, turn off some of the running widgets that might be running (including those fancy, colorful HTC ones pre-installed with various Scene/Skin/Lock Screen & Live Wallpapers (which apparently drain faster than those with a simple, stationary background) - updates under the Sense Clock/Weather widget? News app. with breaking news alert & auto-update and Gmail/Email Apps - Push & Settings for Off-Peak Update, Facebook & Tweeter, etc. Are there any VZW bloatwares running - i.e. Backups? If all of those seemed routine & nothing out of the ordinary, getting S-OFF and rooted, and you can get a near 100% stock Sense ROM with nice tweaks - with better battery life and excellent functionalty.

Just going to give a biased & partial snapshot of mine: having flashed a # of ROMs but decided to stick with Sense 2.1/3.0 only as I need to preserve GSM/global phone functionality for travel & work purposes:

RMK's GingerSense is good old reliable, like stock without all the extra non-sense, nearly up-to-date with most and the rest is easily updated via Market. It's one of the 1st. ones that I put on mine: set & forget as a daily ROM.

andybonesStock, rooted & tweaked, has all the latest OTA incorporated and easy to strip all unneeded/unwanted components, and has good review. If I wanted to look stock, this is what I will go back to.

Sabotage Sense came out recently, and is very good, fast & responsive, and has the latest OTA, support OC kernel and reliable, and more tweaks coming with next verison due out soon. Got it running on one of ours - very good battery life & great Quadrant scores (1500's) for benchmark purposes. I believe more goodies will come in the weeks/months ahead.

Skyraider's Zeus V1.3 (google for the site) out since last Nov. - Sense 2.1/3.0 patched, lots of goodies too (more than Sabotage/sorry, CS for that - yours is great) and plenty of customization, the latest OTA should be out with V1.35 due out soon anytime. It just work & excellent battery life - easily 30 to 50 hours on average, to as much as 60 to 75 hours on a stock battery with tweaks & settings optimized. Got it running on our other DI2, flashed the newest radio & OC kernel #21, it's a solid daily workforce, has Quadrant scores as high as 1750's with a -65 dbM 3G signal (typical 1500-1600's).

With these 4 Roms, APN-SMS-MMS, WiFi, 3G and other vital elements work flawlessly, *228 worked when needed to update PRL, and Accounts sync. nicely without patches or workarounds - it will function as if you are running stock, majority won't even noticed that you are running a customized ROM. In real life, both of our phones can go 2 full days before going back on the charger unless Maps/Nav or YouTube/Hulu (or other data intensive) was running as those apps will drain it much faster.
[EVO Shift 4G General] nejohnson:
The power button on my wife's shift died yesterday. It is rooted with CM7, so I need to get it back to stock to take back to Sprint for repairs. Since I can't use the power button in the bootloader, can anyone assist me in un-rooting this thing?

Thanks!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Is the phone still powered up? If it is you should be able to RUU from the PC via the USB Cable. Or you could RUU through ADB. But my first choice would be via the USB Cable and PC.
[EVO Shift 4G General] nejohnson:
I got it updated. The RUU wouldn't detect the phone, but I put the PG06IMG.zip on the sd and rebooted holding the volume down and no power button press was needed that way...vol up was the "yes" option. Thanks!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
No problem, here to help. Glad you got it sorted out :) .

I have the swype beta installed on my mom's thunderbolt, and it works well. But I much prefer the look of the Swype that's made for the Nexus S, the one included in teh Unnamed rom, http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/6549/swype.png . I like the way it looks, the only thing I don't like anymore about the new Swype keyboards is the inclusion of the language button, I only type in English, so I don't want the option to switch languages lol.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
Absolutely love any version of Swype. Though I'm also starting to dig SwiftKey X, just takes some time for the app to learn my word usage to increase prediction probability.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Quocstazz:
Hold onto the swype key button until you get into setting, in setting click language options and uncheck Espanol!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jeremiah.rs:
I can't seem to be able to do that on my version of Skype.

beta, cuz the Swype line is orange
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nacron:
It only has that in beta
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schwab002:
Beta, mostly because stock doesn't auto-space for one letter words. Also the orange is nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Yeah it does. They fixed that after EG31 I believe
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beezar:
Love swiftkey X. For text messaging. Unfortunately, it has no predictions in some applications (like the internet) making it difficult to use.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] useport80:
yeah im in the same boat. im on the unnamed rom, running the beta swype and i can't get rid of the language button on the swype keyboard either.

i have espanol disabled in swype's language options. if i press and hold the language button on the swype keyboard, the only language that comes up is english(enabled of course) but its the only option even listed.

so im not sure why i even have the language button if i only have one language enabled.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] th3taman:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Masterface7:
I know it's strange but i like the number symbol layout on stock better than the beta.

Also, I hate when I click a word then swype automatically puts the cursor at the start of that word. I think that happens in the beta, it happened to me on previous phone's custom roms. I know it doesn't happen with the stock swype i am using now.

If swype beta doesn't actually do this and it was just the build i was using then i guess i am impartial, i don't find the word prediction any better or worse.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oblivion0:
I have to agree, after playing with stock Swype for a week now I do miss the prediction of beta. I also like that with BETA you can long press menu to hide the keyboard.

PS That theme is sick!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jazz Like That:
Beta is good but it doesn't save the new words automatically. Each time we type a new word we have to add it to the dictionary manually by clicking the option that we get above the keyboard. " Add ____ to the dictionary ". I seriously hate this.

The stock swype automatically saves the words to the dictionary.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Beta seems bulky. Idk why
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
Beta, definitely, but I always wait for djdarkknight to theme it jet black first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
Could go either way, currently. Stock version has a bug in it when backspacing autocompleted words and the beta version is ugly as hell. Once the stock version is updated to a bug free version, I'll be sticking with it.

I know that rooting allows you to install more powerfull apps.

What are the best root-only apps ?

I just called Samsung customer support 1800-726-7864 and asked if I buy phone that has international warranty and if I ever need warranty work done, will Samsung USA process it through or not. They said yes, but I would like to see if other people could call in if they have time and see what they hear. I don't know if I was wording it correctly or not, but the lady kept saying "yes all our phones have 1 year warranty". Got about 12 more hours to decide haha

I will say.. no returns at all unless the product was defective. I had to deal with return for a Jawbone Icon I bought a while ago, not sure was it this site, but it was one of those deal site that ships from NY...

[Member-Found Deals] jj14:
Go to FAQ on their page and you can see this.

What's your return policy?

Well, each individual case has it's own individual answer. We need to determine whether that Bluetooth that you bought really did turn into a toe nipping yak, or if it was just a figment of you over-active imagination. So if you would just be so kind as to contact Sales with your user ID, order number and the problem that you are experiencing our customer service representatives will be glad to help you out...or give you a full psychiatric evaluation, which ever you need

What if it came totally busted?

Ah, well that's different. Nobody likes a broken toy, so you should contact the manufacturer and see about getting a replacement. If that doesn't work, please contact Sales with the user ID, order number and transaction ID number, we will then get back to you within 24 - 48 hours.

What if I changed my mind?

You can sell it on eBay and make a profit. Or take it on a week-long cruise to reconnect with it. It's your call.

From their FAQs

How fast does it ship?

Your order will ship within 6 business days. Sometimes our coffee runs out and it takes us the whole 6, but our caffeine buzz usually helps us get it out sooner. Rest assured, we don't want it; that's why we sold it.

No, I have no idea whether this is really true... but if it does ship within 6 days, that's great! (as long as they don't ship using messenger pigeon - as indicated in their FAQs) :)
[Member-Found Deals] doalittledanse:
Hmm... everything should be matching. maybe the apartment number in my address is messing it up
[Member-Found Deals] CyberGhos:
I think it sometimes takes less than 6 days for them to ship. They however, always ship with USPS, and it takes like 2 weeks for the package to reach the destination.

Well Samsung may be confused with the verizon version and may have told it has US warranty. You need to give the model number GT-I9250 and ask if it will have warranty in US and i bet the answer will be no. Better yet go to Samsung USA support page and you will not be able to find the galaxy nexus gsm model. Sites like expansys provide warranty by sending the device to expansys uk and I don't think dailysteals has any arrangement like that.
